Red Cross Roll Call SetMarch 23 Red Cross Roll Call for Amherst will open March 23. Every adult will have the privilege of joining the Red Cross. Many volunteer workers are needed whose names are wanted by National Headquarters in Washington by March 18. So those wishing to assist in the Roll Call will please call 7624 before March 17.

Mrs. Showalter will be chairman of the Brownhelm drive. wrapped up in bandages. There are head bandages, arm bandages, shoulder bandages, elbow bandages, leg bandages, foot bandages and rib bandages, just to mention some of the most used types that First Aiders must learn. But don't think bandaging is the only thing they learn, that's only a small part of the many operations they are taught to perform during ten sessions of two hours each that the Red Cross requires for the standard course. Ask a First Aider the make-up of the human machine and he (and there are a lot of women too) will begin to tell you the make-up of the cranium, that a tiny blood vessel bursting in the brain causes apoplexy, that a slight pressure on the brain caused by a fractured skull might cause unconsciousness, that there are two types of fractured bones, that traction should be applied to a broken arm or leg, that stimu lants should not be given to a person suffering sunstroke, and heat exhaustion is caused by the loss of salt in the body due to excessive perspiration. LEARN INJURY FIRST That isn't all they'll tell you. If you listen to them long enough they'll tell you not to move an By Way of a New Experience By Mrs. F. R. Powers For years now, whenever I've seen a train roaring westward and glimpsed its lightning presentation of white-coated dining car attendants and lastly the observation platform's idle occupants, I've wished I was on it. With the advent of the Streamliners, I even went so far as to say that if I could but cross the continent in one of "them there" fast trains I'd be willing, once I'd reached the western terminus, to turn around and come right home again just for the experience of covering the country in a Pullman.I've changed my mind about that. Tho I would be among the first to, aver that Pullman travel is a wonderful and fearful means to an end, as the Alpha-an-Omega and-what-lles-between of a recreational jaunt, I should consider it a weary tiresome back-breaking procedure. I might as well confess right at the beginning, that when I entered Pullman Car C of the "Call- fornian" on the evening of last February J9th it was the first time such an experience had ever been mine. Going aboard at night is most bewildering to a novice. Following the strain of getting yourself and your luggage properly located, you expect to sit down a while, at least until you get your bearings. But where the seats should be there's a bed, pleasant enough to look at with its fresh, snowy-white sheets and pillows, but if you are one of those unfortunate persons who has a horror of "scrunched up" places like under a bed or a porch your heart will sink at first sight of your Pullman berth. What to do with the luggage? Where will you hang your coat? Isn't there any place at all to sit down? You look about for something that might hold forth a soupcon of comfort, but all around you is grim silence, shrouded in heavy green curtains; the people who sway past you ln the dimly-lighted aisle are total (Continued on page four) injured person,. but let him lay where he is until the extent of his injuries are known, and once those are learned, they'll tell you just how tliat injured person should be moved. They'll tell you that a person with a broken back should be transported lying on his stomach, but a person with a broken neck should lay on his back with his chin up. And when they've told you that they've only begun to tell you what they spent twenty solid hours of class work plus a lot of hard hours spent with a text book outside of class has taught them. You won't find a first aider drag ging a drowned person out of a lake and then rolling him over a barrel to get the water out of his lungs. The first aider will lay the drowned person on his stomach and with a rhythm that goes like clock work, he (or she, for we mustn't forget the women in ihis story) will set to work at once applying artificial respira tion. NOT QUICKLY DISCOURAGED The first aider isn't going to be quickly discouraged if results are not shown within the first few minutes. That process may con tinue for hours before all hope is eiven up. The Red Cross knows of cases of people being revived after eicht hours of artificial respiration. Although Amherst is First Aid conscious now, the classes being taught are not the first to be given in Amherst. Three years ago the first of these was hard at work learning what to do in case of injury. That class con sisted mostly of firemen, police, members of the American Legion and a few others. The same winter the second of these classes was held, but these classes were not as largo as the present groups Each year since there has been a class, but the number of women who took part were few. FOUR CLASSES At present there are three large classes taking the Red Cross standard course, and a fourth class that will take the air raid ward en's course. The first three are nearly finished with their work while the fourth has just started. The standard course requires twenty hours of class room work, while the air raid warden's course is cut down to ten hours. People taking the standard course receive all of,the air raid warden's work plus instruction on many other Injuries that the air raid warden isn't required to know. This increased Interest ln first aid work is due entirely to the (Continued on . page four) TAKES EXCEPTION TO NEWS REPORT Henry Gordon took exception to the statement in last week's News-Times which stated that he referred to those opposcd"to the light plant as sabateurs. What Gordon admitted saying was: "In-as-much as Donald M. Nel son has considered this light plant a defense project, anybody that puts anything in the way of this project would be in my opinion a fifth columnist or a Nazi." Air Raid Wardens To Study First Aid Red Cross will open a new class in First Aid for Air Raid Ward ens next week Wednesday. Don Ludwig who has been instructing the teachers in first aid will have charge of the air raid wardens. Many new classes will start and all desiring to take first aid must register with Mr. and Mrs. Jew- ett. Mrs. A. C. Schibley Taken By Dcatl farms to dairy in 10 gallon cans wholesale only. Car released that was purchas ed before January 1, 1942, Pearl E. Babeau, Stop E. Lake-rd, Sunnyside Beach, Dodge, 4 door sedan. No new cars have been sold. The local board is allowed 3 per month for March, April and May. Recapping and retreading of tires for eligible trucks only this month, not passenger cars, it was announced. End Season With Trophy, 2nd Place 1 Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon for Mrs. Alfred C. Schibley of East Martin-st who died at her home Friday evening at 9 o'clock. Mrs. Schibley, 30 years old, died following a week's illness. She was born in Lorain the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ronnie Holden and moved to Amherst three years ago. She was a member of St. Peter's Evangelical-Reformed church and the Royal Neighbors lodge of Loran. She left her husband, Alfred, one daughter, Janice Mac and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Holden. Rev. C. E. Schmidt officiated at the service and burial was in charge of the George V. Schwartz Funeral Home. Ladies' Aid Announces No Meet For Holy Week The regular meeting of the Ladies' Aid society will be postponed a week for the month of April as the session would fall during Holy Week it was announced at the meeting last week. The ladles decided to have the next meeting April 9 in the church parlors with Mrs. Charles Kreeger the hostess. Rev. Roland C. Bosse gave an Interesting talk on the order of service in St Paul's Lutheran church during the discussion period. Late in the afternoon lunch was served by Mrs. Arthur Haas. 1 In the Clearview Tourney the Comets played the best ball they have shown during the whole season. Last Thursday they downed the South Amherst cagers 51-29 for the third time this season and by the largest score of the three engagement. After a fairly even opening period Amherst gained a 16-8 advantage at half time and then proceeded to widen the gap as the game progressed. Then last Saturday in their game with high scoring baskct-ccrs from Beldcn they completely upset the dope. The boys from Beldcn had the highest scoring record of any team in the county league. But against the special defense used by the Comets they were held to one basket in each of the first three- quarters. The scores were 10-3, 20-6, and 30-8, Then with the Amherst line-up filled with substitutions the last quarter was 17-12 ln Belden's favor, making the total 42-25. Brucker, Kreeger and Bierman had complete control of the Bel den backboard thereby putting the stopper on Belden's favorite scoring weapon. Braun and Gambish furnished most of the scoring for the Comets but the whole Amherst team played fine ball. LOSE TO STRONG FIVE Tuesday night the Comets lost to the always strong Canton St, John's outfit 42-34 and thereby finished their basketball season Amherst started strong and held an 11-8 lead in the quarter but a spurt by the Canton team put them out in front 19-16 at half time. It was 23-18 as the last period began and after a flurry of scoring in which the Canton boys put ln 19 points to the Comets' 16, each team substituting freely as the game drew to close. Gambish with 13 points was high for the Comets. Braun had 9 and Slumska 4. The game was lost on the foul line. Each team had 13 field goals, but St. John's had 16 free throws to 8 for Am-hert. So the season is over, finished with 16 won, five lost, a percentage of .761. They have a cup to show for their work in the Clearview Tourney and second place ln the Northern Ohio League. his resignation is accepted. Wohlever has been one of the I rouncilnif n opposing the construc- tr,n of the light plant. He besan serving his second term in the council at the beginning of the current year. Although those opposed to the light plant did not know of his decision to resign until Sunday, tlnse favoring the plant apparently were expecting it. In a letter dated lust Thursday, addressed to Mr. H. A. Brentlinge.r of the Federal 'Works Agency, Flyod G. Urownq, light plant engineer, predicted the resignation although Wohlever's name was notmentioned. "Moreover there are hopes anions the adherents of the light , plant that one of the councilmen opposing the construction of the plant will resign by Friday of this week. If that happens it appears likely that the new councilman appointed 1 0 fill the unexpired term will be one favorable to the completion of the work, and that will give them a majority favoring the construction of the electric generating plant", stated Browne's letter. Wohlever, however, denied that he had told anyone of his Intention prior to Sunday morning. Wohlever was high man in the election last fall, receiving 699 votes. In the lection in 1939 he was third high. He consistently voted against measures favoring the light plant. during bis councilmanlc incum- hancy Honor Maxwells On Anniversary Over one hundred members of the First Evangelical church gathered in the church parlors Wednesday evening to congratu late Rev. and Mrs. H. H. Max well on their 25th wedding anni versary. The Truthseekers' Sunday School class arranged a party in honor ot their pastor and his wife on this occasion. The strains of the wedding march were played by Miss Mildred Fritch as the honored couple arrived upon the scene in the church parlors where the congregation had gathered for a tureen supper. Mrs. Maxwell was presented with a lovely corsage from her Sunday School class and Rev. Maxwell received a boutonniere. Several musical selections were played by the Sunday School orchestra prior to the offering of prayer before the supper. The tables were beautifully decorated with silver streamers, floral centerpieces and candles. A three-tierred wedding cake topped with a miniature bride and groom centered the table where the guests of honor were seated. An interesting program followed the supper and it included a piano solo by Miss Barbara Tab-bert, accordian solo, Miss Mildred Fritch; vocal solos, "I Love You Truly" and "O Promise Me" by Miss Norma Lange; clarinet solo, Muriel Springer; and musical numbers by the orchestra. Mr. Zilch presented the gift of money from the congregation to Rev. and Mrs. Maxwell. The gift was cleverly arranged ln the form of a potted tree with green leaves and silver fruit attached by silver twine. Rev. Maxwell responded with a speech. Miss Evelyn Thomas has been initiated into the Alpha Delta sorority at Baldwin-WallaceCollege. 1

Urownq, light plant engineer, predicted the resignation although Wohlever's name was notmentioned. "Moreover there are hopes anions the adherents of the light , plant that one of the councilmen opposing the construction of the plant will resign by Friday of this week. If that happens it appears likely that the new councilman appointed 1 0 fill the unexpired term will be one favorable to the completion of the work, and that will give them a majority favoring the construction of the electric generating plant", stated Browne's letter. Wohlever, however, denied that he had told anyone of his Intention prior to Sunday morning. Wohlever was high man in the election last fall, receiving 699 votes. In the lection in 1939 he was third high.
